I installed the steam flatpak. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to launch steam it doesn’t open. Before the latest update I could click it a few times and eventually it would work. Now it doesn’t work at all.
What happens if you run com.valvesoftware.Steam in a terminal?
Also, in a second terminal, run ps x | grep com.valvesoftware.Steam and share the output
for com.valvesoftware.Steam I get
